Restoration of Previously Eliminated Local Area Personal Income Statistics

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) restored a portion of the statistical detail to its Local Area Personal Income (LAPI) program that had been eliminated due to sequestration and reduced funding levels in FY 2013. On May 5, BEA released for 2001-2012 (1) local area employment statistics; (2) local area industry detail for compensation and earnings for 108 industries; (3) detail on farm income and expenses; (4) and partially restored detail on personal current transfer receipts. Improved production efficiency, in part, allowed for the restoration of these statistics.
